The Baker McKenzie global pensions team is delighted to announce the launch of the Global Pensions Heatmap. The heatmap sets out key information and principal pension issues that companies should be aware of in over 40 jurisdictions across the world and provides a snapshot of Baker McKenzie’s international transactional pensions presence and expertise. Organisations are able to identify the type, complexity and transaction requirements of pensions funds across multiple jurisdictions all in one place by using the comparison tool. The heatmap is the first of its kind available in the industry, and it will enable businesses to understand more about the impact of corporate activity on pension funds to help strategize their approach more effectively.
